Trout Today

[ecu1984]

Will a trout pass on a shrimp in the winter? I don't think so. Change my mind.

A live shrimp under a cork in the winter is guaranteed trout. A lot of people buy live shrimp right now to trout fish with.
One of the largest trout I ever caught was on an artificial Z-Man shrimp.
Hideous lime green of all colors, it was 18 degrees outside and I tossed it to the bottom,
gave it time to sink and got distracted and started talking to my buddy, not reeling, just stopped retrieving to talk
and the rod was about jerked outta my hand. 8.5lb trout while artificial shrimp was laying on the bottom of 17ft hole.
They are very lethargic when bitter cold and cant chase, need it laying right in front of their face. Crawl it or dead stick it
